This is called fictitious agreement, as the verb agrees with the idea of plural in the group noun rather than the actual singular form of the noun. Instead, the plural nouns in the post-modification of the sentence affect the form of the proximate verb.
When a subject consists of two or more nouns coordinated with and, the verb is usually plural if the coordination is taken as the reduction of two clauses:. In the last example, grammatical concord insists that no one is singular, but fictional concord invites a plural verb.
